Then close your eyes and focus on taking deep, steady breaths. Do this for a couple of minutes or for as long as it takes you to feel comfortable. Step 3: Next, raise your arms to the count of ten while breathing in and then lower your arms, also to the count of ten while breathing out. Repeat this 12 times.

To make sure you are doing it correctly, put your hands on your chest ? as you breathe in and your lungs fill with air your hand should come up and as you breathe out and your hand should go down. Repeat this 12 times.Step 5: Finish your breathing exercises by giving yourself a back massage. Lying down, hold your knees to your chest and then slowly roll back and forth to unknot your spine. Repeat this 12 times. After: With these breathing exercises you will go from zippy to zen in a matter of minutes.
